He Goynche Put

God has his own plans
by J P Pereira (Navhind Times)

Inacio de Canacona presents ‘He Goynche Put’ a drama based on the sacrificial life of a priest, his brother and parents. A different story and a good presentation!!
Anushka and Lazarus have two sons. One has been ordained a priest and deputed to a place with plenty of communal violence but also with a need of a missionary. The other son, Derrick, was a no good womaniser but has turned a new leaf with the prayers of his brother as well as some good advice. He is going to marry Riya, daughter of PI Braz, a honest cop. On the day of the wedding the family awaits the arrival of the priest, who is supposed to celebrate the nuptials. But there is some terrible news.....Watch the rest in this impressive drama that has a nice message at the end.
The title ‘He Goynche Put’ refers to Fr Agnel and Fr Jose Vaz and the director exhorts the Goan youth to emulate these holy priests. The Script has some good dialogues especially between the young priest and the leader of the religious bigots.
The cast has a couple of veterans but mostly fresh faces; Natty makes a fine debut on the Konkani stage with a beautiful performance as Riya. Her stage presence, dialogue delivery and overall acting are very good for a newcomer. Keep it up Natty, we hope to see more of you on the stage.
Jessie plays the role of the mother in her usual confidence and Flavia acts as the nun. Neville is perfect as the young priest and later as the Vicar, and so is Baptist as the unfortunate Derrick and Inacio as the leader of the communal goons. Peter de Merces is the father, Lazarus and Gabriel, the honest cop. Marshall is the sacristan in the Church.
The tragic tale is offset by good comedy from Rumaldo, Pitush and Allwyn, who present some good fun.
The opening song is rendered by Inacio with music provided by Braz de Xelvona. In between the acts there are some nice songs form Inacio, Jack, Rosario and an impressive trio from Inacio-Neville-Baptist.
Watch this drama by the upcoming director; it has entertainment and a nice presentation.
